jonathan capehart is an opinion writing for "the washington post." john, we heard the accusations the president delayed the administration's response, manipulating the remarks offered by susan rice. we had the fox news report that the cia had ordered the rescue team to stand down. reports about officials in washington somehow dragging their feet on the night of the attack. this report found none of those to be true. >> uh-huh. no. and guess what else the report doesn't mention? susan rice. doesn't mention her at all. because as we've talked about for weeks, as we've known for weeks, what was going on in benghazi had nothing to do with susan rice. it had everything to do with security failures on the part of the state department, cia, lapses of leadership as the report points out. and so if anyone thinks that now senators john mccain and lindsey graham are going to mards out there and say susan rice we're sorry. that's not going to happen. this fight was not about susan rice. this was about old vendettas on senator mccain's part against the president.
